In JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.2 unauthorized input injection was possible in a Remote Development session
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass via unauthorized input injection in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.2 allows remote attackers to inject unauthorized input into an active Remote Development session, undermining the trust boundary between client and backend host. Because the flaw stems from missing authentication (CWE-306) on a Remote Development channel and carries a maximal CVSS 10.0 with scope change, a successful attacker can influence code, files, or execution on the remote workspace. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that IntelliJ IDEA's Remote Development feature is actively in use and that the attacker can reach the Remote Development session/backend over the network; the described 'unauthorized input injection' targets that specific session channel, and the CWE-306 missing-authentication root cause means no credentials are needed once the channel is reachable (consistent with PR:N/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H yields the maximum 10.0: network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact - an unusually severe profile consistent with the CWE-306 authentication-bypass tag. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach a developer's Remote Development session over the network injects unauthorized input into the channel without supplying any credentials, because the critical function lacks authentication. Leveraging the scope-changing full-impact nature of the flaw, the injected input could manipulate the remote workspace's code or execution, effectively pivoting into the developer's backend host. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 2026.2 - upgrade JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA to 2026.2 or later, which remediates the missing-authentication flaw in Remote Development; consult the JetBrains security advisory at https://www.jetbrains.com/privacy-security/issues-fixed/ for build-specific guidance. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Disable JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Remote Development feature unless operationally critical; if required, restrict network access to Remote Development servers via firewall rules limiting connections to known internal IP ranges and disable all external/remote access. …
